Pedro,

The reason is simply that you do not have any ingrained bad swing habits when you hit left-handed. In other words your body is swinging the club in a completely natural and powerful manner as nature, and not golf instruction, intended.

I say go for it. If nothing else, start working some left-handed swinging into your regular practice. Someone posted a while ago (I can't remember their name off the top of my head) about playing 9 holes righty and 9 holes lefty, and how instructional it was for their swing. I've heard about some guy on the Canadian Tour that plays odd clubs righty and even clubs lefty. I have one lefty club I found at a used sporting goods store just to test the concept, and now I'm looking to buy a few that fit me. Personally I'm not very good at hitting the ball where I want it lefty (which could just be because the club is way off of my specs) but the act of swinging lefty is a refreshing break and makes my normal swing feel much more fresh and flexible. I say you should definitely keep practicing this, and if you develop enough control to go with that distance (and the money for some more clubs) then I wouldn't see anything wrong in playing both sides on the course or going completely lefty.

Also, 210 with a 6 iron?! Dang, dude. My distance is well above average, but that is just prodigious.

Pedro--
An easy way to solve your dilemman...you should play a match--your lefty self vs. your righty self. The winning side becomes yur dominant side!!!
